Simple Markdown CV / Resume

Acknowledgments

The original CV template is based on a version by Craig Eley, with a couple of minor modifications to make it run with Pandoc.

Requirements

Requires Latex (http://latex-project.org/ftp.html) and Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) to be installed on your system.

Instructions

1. Edit the source file at: /source/cv.md
2. Run 'make pdf' in the folder containing the Makefile
3. A new PDF will be generated in the /output folder

With Docker compose

If you are not feeling like install pandoc and all tooles.

Heres an docurized way to get the same result as with the make command.

All thats needed to run to create an pdf is:

docker-compose up mdcv-pdf

and the rest:

docker-compose up mdcv-tex

docker-compose up mdcv-docx

docker-compose up mdcv-html

Notes / to do

1. Create a list of useful commands
2. Create instructions for adding variables, changing style etc.
3. Add citation to related projects.

Craig Eley link is malware infected

It looks like the first link (craigeley.com) in the README does not point where it should as the site seems to be malware infected and redirects to random advertisement.

The README should probably not link there until it's fixed.

Replace deprecated Docker base image with the suggested alternative

The base image of the Dockerfile (pandoc/alpine-latex) is deprecated and should be replaced with "pandoc/latex" (as suggested here)

I tried it out, but it seems that further changes are required:

Makefile fails when there are spaces in the directory path

Make fails when there are spaces in the directory path (e.g. "/documents/files here/") would break.
